Company Engages Customers in the Fight to End Childhood Hunger in America, Donating 20% of the Net Proceeds* from Each Gift Purchased in the Collection
CARLE PLACE, N.Y., Oct. 13, 2020 – Today, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLWS) announced a nationwide holiday campaign to benefit No Kid Hungry. Now through Dec. 24, the company will donate 20% of the net proceeds* from each gift purchased from its specially curated “Season of Sharing” holiday gift collection to help No Kid Hungry ensure kids get the food they need. For every dollar No Kid Hungry receives, it can provide up to 10 meals to children in need**.
When shopping the specially curated “Season of Sharing” holiday gift collection, customers can find information and resources about hunger relief – including key facts, videos and a meal finder for those seeking free, healthy meals being served by organizations in communities across the country.
“It’s hard to imagine that almost half of America’s families are living with hunger,” said Chris McCann, Chief Executive Officer, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. “New estimates show the number of children facing hunger has nearly doubled since before the pandemic – where now 1 in 4 children could be going hungry. No Kid Hungry has a plan to make sure children are fed, both during this health crisis and beyond. That’s why we’ve teamed up with No Kid Hungry this holiday season – to make sure kids get the meals they need.”
